Egg purchase restrictions take effect at more major US grocery stores
libertybele:
Had to pick up a few items and went to the Walmart Neighborhood market. I noticed that they were completely out of eggs and shelves were looking pretty thinned out. It appears worse than during the pandemic - the tariffs haven't been implemented, so other than the bird flu b.s., I'm not sure what's going on.
IF food becomes scarce and price continue to rise; this isn't going to bode well for the Trump administration.
Egg purchase restrictions take effect at more major US grocery stores
Costco, Kroger and Whole Foods are among the growing list of grocers that are putting a purchasing limit on eggs as supply shortages persist.
Companies started imposing limits on the product as the shortage caused by outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), or bird flu, persists, causing a frenzy among shoppers. Droves of viral videos have surfaced in recent weeks, showing shoppers stockpiling eggs. One video posted on TikTok claimed that an entire section of eggs at a Costco was gone in less than 10 minutes.
Amazon-owned Whole Foods posted signs on its shelves notifying customers that customers can only buy three cartons of eggs at one time.
"We are currently experiencing difficulty sourcing eggs that meet our strict animal welfare standards," a sign posted at one of its stores in New York City read.
Kroger confirmed to FOX Business that some banner divisions are also limiting egg sales. At stores where limits are in place, the company is asking customers to only buy two dozen eggs per trip, a spokesperson told FOX Business.
Trader Joe's told FOX Business on Monday that it is limiting egg purchases to one dozen per customer, per day. The limit applies to every Trader Joe’s grocery store in the U.S., according to the company. .............
.................Not only are consumers feeling the effects of high egg prices at the grocery store, but they're facing surcharges at restaurants.
Notably, Waffle House, a Southern breakfast food chain, added a temporary 50 cent per egg surcharge to all of its menus last week. The company blamed the ongoing egg shortage for the dramatic increase in egg prices, saying that "consumers and restaurants are being forced to make difficult decisions." ......................

I'd be surprised if tariffs have anything to do with it - as opposed to Biden's USDA.

Bird flu virus is not B.S. @libertybele
A farmer in Ohio was interviewed on Newsnation last week. When he went to bed his chickens were fine. When he woke up 1/4 were dead and another 50% was lethargic and dying. That is how fast bird flu wipes out these poultry farms
That is why the USDA comes in and kills all the chickens pronto,
This bird flu is nasty stuff.
Hopefully Trump will take this virus serious...especiallyy since last week they found a mutated form of the virus in cows out West.

I definitely don't fault Trump. Notta. He's doing just the opposite of Biden and will save us $$ in the long run. We've got to reign in our spending otherwise, we won't have a country left.
There's going to be some 'pain' along the way, perhaps a lot of sacrificing and hopefully people will realize what Trump is trying to do. I don't want my children and grandchildren to be swallowed by debt and know the freedoms I grew up with.
As for the bird flu -- I'm not all that convinced that it is so drastic.
